Aurora s current coverage areas are shown in green for aurora lidar and orange for google 3d.
Aurora solar lidar.
The laser pulse travels at the speed of light.
After completing your design click on the lidar button on the top menu.
Aurora is our main tool for creating solar designs and proposals.
Aurora offers lidar coverage through many parts of the united states and select international locations visible on our map below.
Generate bankable shade reports that are accepted by major rebate authorities and utilities including nyserda masscec oncor and more.
Easy lidar enabled 3d roof modeling.
Aurora has streamlined our design process and is our go to when it comes to accuracy.
Aurora solar a cloud based platform that enables sophisticated solar pv engineering design supports operations and facilitates customer acquisition for solar professionals.
Aurora s irradiance engine provides nrel validated solar access values that are statistically equivalent to traditional on site shade measurement tools.
Read nrel s validation of aurora s shading accuracy.
Click the lidar settings button to toggle between mesh or point cloud.
Our shading analysis is within 3 accuracy of solmetric readings taken on a rooftop for sites that have lidar data and within 5 for sites without lidar.
Lidar assisted modeling commercial design automatic obstruction detection bankable shade reports.
Here is how to model using lidar in aurora.
Toggle into the 3d view by clicking the 3d box icon or holding right click and moving your cursor up.
With lidar you can skip truck rolls and sell to your customers with confidence.
Our interactive shade simulator visualizes the sun s movement and impact on your client s pv system.
Lidar data is also used to calculate how much irradiance sunlight and shading is cast on a rooftop so sites can be quickly screened for their solar potential.
Aurora lidar shading values have been proven by the national renewable energy lab nrel to be statistically equivalent to onsite measurements.
Aurora solar a cloud based platform that enables sophisticated solar pv engineering design supports operations and facilitates customer acquisition for solar professionals.
An nrel study funded by the us department of energy doe found that remote shading engines that implemented lidar were within 3 5 of on site measurements.
